Subject: Quota Implementation
Date: Fri, 03 Jun 2011 18:24:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DE90AC9.5040106@gmx.net> (raw)
Hi,
If no one is already working on it, I'd like to take the Quota lock and
see how far I come.
Let me sketch out in short what I'm planning to do:
- Quota will be subvolume based. Only the FS-trees and data extents
will be accounted.
- Quota Groups can be defined. Every quota group can comprise any
number of subvolumes. A subvolume can be assigned to any number
of quota groups.
- A Quota Group can account/limit the total amount of space that is
referenced by it and/or the amount of space that is exclusively
referenced (i.e. referenced by no other quota group).
- With this it is possible to define a hierarchical quota that need
not necessarily reflect the filesystem hierarchy.
- It is also possible to decide for each snapshot if it should be
accounted into the parent group. So in a scenario where each
subvolume reflect a user home, it's possible to have some snapshots
accounted to the user and others not (e.g. the ones needed for system
backups).
- Quota information will be stored in new records, possibly in a
separate tree.
- It should be possible to change the Quota config and group
assignments online, though this might need a full re-scan of the fs.
- It does NOT include any kind of user/group (UID/GID) quota.
Any addenda or arguments why it's impossible or insane welcome.
-Arne
